Help me understand my body

I recently saw a video of a creator making a menstruating vagina out of stained glass. The art was beautiful. It made me feel something deep in my soul. I showed my husband, who clearly doesn’t get it. And my best friend (F), who took his side but stated she understood the meaning behind it (?). And my gay (M) friends, who said it was disgusting (should’ve expected that I guess lol). There was only one available and I bought it anyway. I want it to hang in my bathroom!

Im very intrigued by the way it made me feel. I don’t really know how to put it in words. It makes me feel empowered, resilient, like our bodies deserve more recognition (which let’s be honest - they do).

I was hoping some of you would have good resources you could recommend for learning more about the female body, history of women, our power, etc. what’s your favorite books, tv shows/documentaries, podcasts, or anything else. I want to be educated and feel empowered to discuss my new art piece once it arrives!!

If anyone is interested in the art, not sure am I allowed to share a link to the listing on the creators website? I’ll post in the comments if so!
